7 Below

There seems to have been some confusion about the meaning of the title to this film, with viewers quite understandably (but wrongly) assuming that it somehow relates to a sub-zero temperature. My understanding is that the number refers to the seven people that we see at the beginning of the film—the six people in the van, and the cashier at the garage—and that the word 'below' alludes to the perpetual 'hell' in which they are trapped, which in this instance is an eternity in the presence of Ving Rhames and Val Kilmer as they give possibly the worst performances of their careers.

Not that Rhames and Kilmer are the only ones at fault in this unmitigated supernatural disaster: the majority of the blame must go to writer/director Kevin Carraway, who clearly had no idea how to develop his script beyond its trite 'we're all doomed to repeat our torment forever' initial concept, the result of which is an hour and a half of utter nonsense (filled with terrible characters and risible dialogue). If the driving force behind the whole film is unable to adequately explain what the hell is going on, then what chance do the cast have? And, consequently, what chance do the viewers have? Suffice to say that the film is incredibly dull, very frustrating and leaves many questions unanswered, the most obvious being 'How the hell did this garbage ever get made?'.

N.B. Two of the prop newspapers have grammatical errors in their headlines; they couldn't even get that right!

This movie was terrible. From very bad acting to implausible situations, and yes I realize that the entire movie is an implausible situation. What I am talking about are the characters acting completely irrational in certain situations. People just don't do what the characters did, especially if you have ever seen a horror movie in your life.

I too found the sound to be terrible. Storm completely drowns out the dialog at points in this movie.

I love "B" movies and I will gladly waste time on a less that stellar movie, but I regret wasting my time on this one. To call this a "B" movie is to elevate it to a position it does not deserve.

IMHO, save your money, save your time and do not bother with this one. A real stinker.

This is not great.

Pretty Simple.

The only reason people are watching this is because of Kilmer and Rhames.

If they needed money that badly we could have started a Go Fund Me page!

"Bellow Seven" (2012) is a Horror Thriller which has as the most famous actors in it Vig Rhames and Val Kilmer. The film deals with the history of a house, where in 1911 a family was murdered, and that 100 years later, after an accident, some people get stuck in it, along with a strange man who takes care of the house (Rhames).

Frankly speaking, this is one of the worst movies in every way I've ever seen: the story is very weak, and is extremely cliché, and has many holes in the narrative, which is inconsistent and without any interesting point.

The footage is bad, even renting a house with theoretically more than 100 years, it has everything brand-new, even the infrastructure of a new home, with nothing of dust or cobwebs, even in places that would be less care of.

Otherwise, besides a gas station and a forest (well cared for that matter), has no other locations. Special effects in just a few seconds in the final minutes (and even they were poorly made​​).

The actions and roles are some of the worst I've ever seen: the best of all, in a regular performance is Vig Rhames, and Val Kilmer (who I no longer consider a good actor), is terrible, with a brief paper and without a definite personality (from a rude guy to a mentally ill one from nothing). The others actors / characters are meaningless and horrible.

The music and sound effects are adequate, nothing more.

In total is a poor film, not even a class B one, a total loss of 1 and a half hour of my life... this is really a movie that should stay 7 feet below the ground. My score: 2.0 / 10.0.

First of all I read the cast listing with Val Kilmer, Ving Rhames & Luke Goss I got very interested & had a certain expectation to what I was about to see in this film. I can't understand how they managed to wrangle these guys into this boring thriller, I just don't get it. As the movie goes there really isn't very much to say, the plot is as thin as the paper the screenplay was written on. It begins with all of our cast(minus Ving) rolling down the highway in what seems to be a trip for college students, with Val Kilmer appearing as a professor of some sort seaming to be the leader of the group accompanied by his wife, it's not made clear what the whole trip was about probably due to the fact that it all means nothing due to the van crashing into a tree after a shadow of a girl appears. Then they build up that a MASSIVE storm is approaching & they wind up stranded at Ving's place.Everything that happens next was to me kind of boring, not very exciting and overall not that entertaining. They had such talent to work with & they wasted the potential of that with a bad script & limited character development. Rhames character was by far the best, without him the film would sink faster than the titanic, he holds that certain kind of unsettling conviction that worked well in his character, but even he cannot save the film. When the twist was revealed it was somewhat surprising, but nothing to write home about or text your friends about. 5/10

I don't recommending paying to see this film in any form whatsoever.
